One Night In Bangkok - A*Teens

Bangkok Oriental city

But the city don't know

What the city is getting

The creme de la creme

Of the chess world

In a show with everything

But Yul Brynner

Time flies doesn't seem a minute

Since the Tirolean spa

Had the chess boards in it

All change

Don't you know that when you

Play at this level

There's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland

Or the Philippines

Or Hastings

Or or this place

One night in Bangkok

And the world's your oyster

The bars are temples

But their pearls ain't free

You'll find a god in

Every golden cloister

And if you're lucky

Then the god's a she

I can feel an angel

Sliding up to me

One town's very like another

When your head's down

Over your pieces brother

(It's a drag it's a bore

It's really such a pity

To be looking at the board

Not looking at the city)

What you mean

You've seen one crowded

Polluted stinking town

Tea girls warm

And sweet sweet

Some are set up

In the Somerset Maugham suite

Get tied

You're talking to a tourist

Whose every move's

Among the purest

I get my kicks ABOVE the waistline

Sunshine

One night in Bangkok

Makes a hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok

And the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful

With your company

I can feel the devil walking

Next to me

Siam's gonna be the witness

To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness

This grips me more

Than would a muddy old river

Or reclining Buddha

Thank God I'm only

Watching the game

Controlling it

I don't see you guys rating

The kind of mate

I'm contemplating

I'd let you watch

I would invite you

But the queens WE use

Would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars

Your temples

Your "massage parlors"

One night in Bangkok

And the world's your oyster

The bars are temples

But their pearls ain't free

You'll find a god

In every golden cloister

A little flesh a little history

I can feel an angel

Sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok

Makes the hard man humble

Not much between

Despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok

And the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful

With your company

I can feel the devil

Walking next to me
